Iowa guard Matt Gatens won’t be at 100 percent for tonight’s game against Ohio State.
The Hawkeye sophomore sprained an ankle as the Hawkeyes prepared for the 7:30 p.m. game with the 20th-ranked Buckeyes, but Gatens is testing the ankle as Iowa warms up for tonight’s game at Carver-Hawkeye Arena and appears to be preparing to at least attempt to play.
